After running into a lot of testing problems with my current architecture in ASP.NET, I decided that it was time to look into an IoC Framework. I have heard the marvels of how it makes code so much more isolated and clean (SOLID), but I couldn’t...

I’ve been using TeamCity for project builds for about 6 months now, but I haven’t used it to it’s full potential as a build server. I couldn’t get Typemock to run properly on Team City. I decided to take a look on how to do this. I thought it would be...
